Antigua and Barbuda Mobilizes Financial Support for OAS Conference Next Year

Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the Organization of the American States, Sir Ron Sanders, has been tasked with raising financial resources to ensure a productive hosting of the OAS conference next year.

A few weeks ago, the Organization of American States (OAS) voted to hold its 55th General Assembly in Antigua and Barbuda by acclamation. 

The decision was taken at a General Assembly meeting in Asuncion, Paraguay.

Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the OAS, Sir Ronald Sanders, who presented the offer, said that the agreement by acclamation to hold the 55th General Assembly of the OAS in Antigua and Barbuda is a testimony to the confidence of the leadership, government and people of Antigua and Barbuda.

“With the OAS conference, I have told Sir Ron that his role is to lobby the rest of the governments to raise resources to offset some of the costs. Truth be told, these are very costly undertakings,” he added
